Lyrics for Home Groan
Out from the town where the air is clean And the birds sing a sweet song all day long And the water don't hide any blue-eyed From a country boy with his eyes on heaven Coming into town just to broaden his mind I'm disillusioned, deafened by the tube train Longing for a little bit of autumn sand Long hair blowing, threadbare collar Showing on the touchline, thinking of my baby Walking in the sun with another man Hey baby, I'm your loving man Hey baby, I'm gonna ask the taxman If it's alright man, daddy can I go out tonight? I'm easy going, straight up looking No dice throwing, all time growing Good clean living, homegrown country man I'm going home now, can't find a milk cow In Hampstead any old time of day I'm not much looking but I like what's cooking When you open up your oven door and say Daddy can I go out tonight? Daddy can I go out tonight? I'm gonna ask the taxman If it's alright man, daddy can I go out tonight? I'm easy going, straight up looking No dice throwing, all time growing Good clean living, homegrown country man
